TSL is proud to have Kroger® as a sponsor. Kroger® has been sponsoring Hokie athletics for years and has become a permanent fixture in VT athletics (whenever someone says, "You know what Coach Beamer says" on the message boards, someone else ALWAYS responds with, "Get your tailgate supplies at Kroger®!") Kroger®'s latest TSL ads, the ones that start out with the notation "Local Specials", are very cool -- when you click them, it takes you to a store locator, and once you locate a Kroger® store from the list, it loads your latest weekly specials. You can browse them all, sort them by category, etc. Very cool -- click below to give it a test run.
The Virginia Tech football team completed another successful season in 2005, advancing to the ACC Championship Game and earning a berth in the Gator Bowl. As a result of the 11-win season, the entire coaching staff earned bonuses, as did members of the training staff, the athletic director and band directors. All told, the bonuses for the ACC Championship Game and the Gator Bowl came out to just under half a million dollars. For the coaching staff, the bonus amount varied depending on what role the coach had with the team. Regular assistant coaches received a bonus of $3,000 for the ACC Championship Game. Associate Head Coach Billy Hite and recruiting coordinator Jim Cavanaugh pocketed $4,000. Offensive and Defensive Coordinators Bryan Stinespring and Bud Foster earned $5,000 apiece. For earning a trip to the Gator Bowl, the coaching staff received even greater bonuses. Foster and Stinespring earned $40,000 apiece because of their status as coordinators, while the rest of the assistant coaches earned $18,750. Frank Beamer got a whopping $155,388 bonus for the Gator Bowl appearance. Of course, others were given bonuses as well for their hard work during the season. Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Gentry received $3,000 for the ACC Championship Game appearance, and another $18,750 for the Gator Bowl. (In other words, he earned a full coach’s share.) Jack Johnson, Gentry’s assistant, also received a $3,962 bonus for the Gator Bowl. Even equipment manager Lester Karlin got into the act. Karlin received a check for $1,500 for the ACC Championship Game and another $4,007 for the Gator Bowl. Director of Football Operations John Ballein pocketed $3,000 for the ACC Championship Game and $8,904 for the Gator Bowl. Head trainer Mike Goforth was given a nice bonus as well. Goforth received $1,500 for the trip to the ACC Championship Game, and another $5,356 for Tech’s berth in the Gator bowl. Even the band directors got into the act. Director Dave McKee received $5,000, while assistant director Will Peterson was awarded $4,000. And last, but certainly not least, Athletics Director Jim Weaver received a share as well. Weaver got $36,142 for the Gator Bowl appearance. Here’s a look at the entire list of bonuses.

As
usual, Phoebus boasts a handful of prospects who have garnered
Division 1A attention. Leading the way in this year’s class are
four players – offensive lineman Maurice Hampton, athlete Dennis
Mathis, linebacker/defensive end Landon Givers and
fullback/linebacker Haroon Brown. Three of the four have received
official offers from 1A programs.
Yesterday,
TSL staff toured Lane Stadium's West side expansion and found the
facility to be very close to completion. Nearly all of the luxury
suites and stadium clubs are close to being finished, with cleanup
and placement of furniture being the major remaining tasks. We
bring you a photo gallery previewing the luxury suites and stadium
clubs that are the heart and soul of the long-awaited expansion.
Virginia
Tech softball phenom Angela Tincher became the first softball
player in Virginia Tech history to be named an All-American. On
Wednesday, she was named a 2006 Louisville Slugger/NFCA NCAA
second-team All-American. It is one more honor to add to an
already long list of honors.
This
weekend will be an important one in the recruitment of Stone
Bridge (Ashburn, VA) offensive line recruit Andrew Nuss. The 6-6,
285-pound will head to Notre Dame later this week for a one-day
camp/combine event and could hear soon as to whether or not the
Irish will extend a scholarship offer.
On
Tuesday, the ACC released their preseason football television
schedule, which lists the starting times and TV coverage for 18
games featuring ACC teams in the first three weeks of the season,
as well as Thursday night games. Times and TV coverage of four
Virginia Tech games were included.
The
1998 recruiting class will be always be remembered as the class
that brought in superstars such as Michael Vick, Lee Suggs and
Jake Grove. There were many other good players in that class as
well, and they helped Virginia Tech win a lot of football games
over the course of their careers. I was in high school when this
class signed with Tech, and probably followed the program as
closely as anyone could expect from a 9th grader, but I knew next
to nothing about recruiting. And I didn't really care about it
either. But I do remember hearing and reading about the 1998
recruiting class and getting really fired up. I remember having
the belief that this class would get Virginia Tech to the next
level, and I think a lot of other people believed that as well. So
why so much hype for the 1998 recruiting class? Read on.
